Hyundai has brought its streamliner electric sedan, the recently unveiled Ioniq 6, to the 2022 Los Angeles, with the model set to go on sale in the United States in the spring of 2023. Both single- and dual-motor versions will be available, with the former expected to achieve the models maximum range of around 340 miles on one charge – the number has yet to be confirmed by the EPA.

The only visual change that we spotted for the US model is the addition of orange side reflectors, and the indicators LEDs inside the headlights appear to be always on when the vehicle is operating. Everything else appears the same, so the vehicle still has the same excellent drag coefficient (0.22 Cd) and the same unusual, tapered shape.

Wheels range in size from 18- to 20-inch (the vehicle in the gallery has the largest wheels available), there are seven available exterior colors (Gold Matte, Onyx Black Pearl, Serenity White Pearl, Curated Silver Metallic, Transmission Blue Pearl, Ultimate Red Metallic, and Digital Green Pearl) and three color options for the interior (Black, Gray and Dark Green/Grey).

Base cars get a single rear-mounted motor that makes 225 horsepower and 258 pound-feet, while ones equipped with the optional dual-motor setup bump it up to 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft, and thanks to all-wheel drive they can sprint to sixty 5 seconds. Both versions draw from the same 77.4 kWh battery pack, although range will be lower for the dual-motor, an estimated 310 miles (some 30 miles down on the single-motor model).

Other notable features include the vehicle-to-load (V2L) function, that can provide up to 1.9 kW to power camping equipment, appliances and basically allow you to use the vehicle as a gigantic power bank on wheels. It also supports over-the-air updates, it features lots of recycled and sustainable materials in its interior (as is the trend nowadays) and it has a very impressive suite of passive and active safety aids.
